Stroganoff company

[Mel Johnson]

Anybody have any information about this group? I'm trying to help a poster on the other board. I know about the fictional one, but this one seems to have been real.

it's a stretch but could nina stroganova have had anything to do with it? (Hey i'm tryin'!)

Adding: probably not as it seems she was born in 1920...

As Mme. Hermine suggests the name my be Nina Stroganova(real name Nina Rigmor Strom) born in Copenhagen. If so, plenty of information in her obituary here:-

You can also find her on facebook.

I thought of her, but she just "Russianed up" to work in the Ballet Russe. I'm wondering if this doesn't have something to do with the industrialist-merchant-mining family. They seem to have been very generous patrons of the arts.

Ballet was performed at the Stroganov Palace in St.Petersburg but no company was formed and certainly not in 1930.

After the Russian Civil War, they seem to have bailed out of Russia, with quite of few of them going to London, Paris and Berlin, not to mention New York. Big family.
